After one of the more bizarre off-seasons in recent memory, baseball is finally here again! The warm, familiar glow of spring returns, and with that we have another opportunity to experience all of the ups-and-downs associated with America’s Favorite Pastime. Joe DiMaggio said it best back in the day, “You always get a special kick on Opening Day, no matter how many you go through. You look forward to it like a birthday party when you’re a kid. You think something wonderful is going to happen.”
I was lucky enough to experience some Opening Day magic myself back in 2013.
